As a teacher, my job is to not only teach students how to read but to encourage students to read often. This blog is a forum for generating ideas about how we can encourage all people to read more.

Introducing Great Authors

I am celebrating because students liked their science fiction novels so much, they decided to choose more books in the series or by the same author. Those who readCity of Ember, by Jeanne DuPrau, are excited to find out what happens in The People of Sparks. Readers of Virtually Perfect are finding more books by the author, Dan Gutman. And readers of Running Out of Time are eager to read additional books by Margaret Haddix Peterson. I guess one of the best way to encourage reading is to introduce students to great books by authors who have written several books.

Find more books by these authors by clicking on the links to their websites:

Mrs. Laven,The City of Ember was one of my favorite books! I think you should get the full series: The City of Ember, The People of Sparks, The Prophet of Yonwood, for your class.Another book by Margaret Peterson Haddix that I think you should get is Claim to Fame. It's a great book!
